Detailed explanation-1: -What line does the speaker suggest that we are concerned with materials? The world is too much with us late and soon. We have given our hearts away from a sordid boon.
Detailed explanation-2: -"The world is too much with us” sounds odd, and could mean several things. It could mean that the world – life in the city, contemporary society – is just too much, as in “This is too much for me, and I can’t take it anymore."
Detailed explanation-3: -That world, the opening line is saying, consumes too much of our time and energy. Because of our focus on the fast-paced, materialistic world, we lose touch with nature, the poem says. We have “given our hearts” away to commerce.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: “The world is too much with us” can be interpreted as, people have become too concerned with worldly, material things and have the least concern for nature. Wordsworth was a romantic poet who stressed on the importance of emotion and connection with nature.
